Read the equation
Adjusts state by a weighted utility-minus-error signal. A higher error reduces the state, while higher utility raises it, both with coefficient 0.05.
Its role in the build
Adjusts state by a weighted utility-minus-error signal.
Terms & definitions
| Term | Meaning in this source |
|---|---|
| x | current scalar family state |
| dx | change signal |
| d_x / dx_norm | normalized change signal |
| u / utility | utility input |
| e / err | error input |
| s / stab | stability input |
| φ | golden-ratio constant |
How it works
Read the displayed expression together with the surrounding source statement; it is retained as an expression rather than silently completed into an equality.
Substitute the source-defined variables or recorded values and follow the displayed arithmetic and indexing exactly.
Use this version’s variable definitions and update order. The same symbol may be assigned a different meaning in another build.
Assumptions & limits
Conditions
The surrounding implementation must define the input scales and any output clipping.
A formal rate–distortion result would also need a coding rate, distortion measure and feasible set.
